The Ball State men’s volleyball team fell to Loyola Thursday night in five sets, losing 25-23, 25-23, 16-25, 22-25, 14-16.

The Cardinals were led offensively by outside attacker Shane Witmer and middle attacker Kevin Owens, who each had 12 of their team’s 54 kills.

Middle attacker Matt Leske had Ball State’s only solo block, and led the team in assisted blocks with eight.

Libero David Ryan Vander Meer finished with a team-high 14 digs with setter Graham McIlvaine being second with eight.
